MULTI CH STEREO

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both the left front and left surround speakers and the right channel signal to both the right front and right surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.

Note

Audio is not output from the CENTER channel when using MULTI CH. MUSIC mode.

VIRTUAL

This mode provides a dynamic and broad sound space to heighten the overall impact of the sound track.

CAUTION

Note for DTS

To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD player needs to support DTS digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the unit digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the unit cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.

While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button.

The outputs for VCR OUT output analog audio signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX

When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.

Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX- encoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

• dts Digital Surround

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio into home theater systems. DTSbringsyoupremiumqualitydiscretemultichannel digital sound to both movies and music.

DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to create full range digital sound reproduction.

The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.

Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker intended.

DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.

Neo:6 offers several important improvements as follow,

Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and five separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the standard home-theater speaker layouts.

Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements within a channel or channels to be steered separately, and in a way which follows naturally from the original presentation.

Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo nonmatrix recordings into the five- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.

dts Digital Surround ES®

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS- ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES

Note for 96 kHz PCM audio

The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/ Audio discs).

Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

• dts Neo:6®

The advantages of discrete multichannel systems over matrix are well known.

But even in homes equipped for discrete multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding. This is because of the large library of matrix surround motion pictures available on disc and on VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts. The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center channel and a mono surround channel from two- channel matrix stereo material. It is better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to improve separation, but because of its mono, band- limited surround it can be disappointing to users accustomed to discrete multichannel.

Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
